Agreed - let's say your employees cost $100/yr and your revenue is $150/yr, with a $50/yr profit. Now your employees suddenly become 2X more productive because of AI. Do you...

A) Fire half your staff, now earning $100 profit? ($50/yr to employees, $150/yr revenue)

B) Attempt to double your business, now earning $200 profit? ($100 emp, $300 rev)

C) Double your headcount and earn $400 profit?

If companies are profit-seeking, B and C should be more common than A!
